Publication number: 20220400945Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention analyze readable text in digital content displayed in a user interface for color deficiencies based on a user profile and determine a first color deficiency is present based on the user profile associated with a user viewing the readable text in the digital content. Embodiments of the present invention identify a first color substitution for the first color deficiency based on the user profile, where the user profile includes a color palette with a plurality of variations of a plurality of recognizable colors by the user and the first color substitution is from the plurality of variations of recognizable colors by the user. Embodiments of the present invention display the first color substitution for the first color deficiency as an overlay on the digital content, where the overlay covers at least the first color deficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2021Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Lowell Thomason, Timothy Harold Brandt, John Rud, Kenneth Trisko, Ronald Stanley Wesely

Patent number: 11200268Abstract: Examples of techniques for performing a skill gap comparison between a first individual and a second individual (or group) are disclosed. In one example, a computer-implemented method includes receiving first data associated with the first individual and receiving second data associated with the second individual. The method further includes identifying preferences for performing the skill gap comparison and assigning a weight for each of a plurality of elements of the first data and the second data. The method further includes performing the skill gap comparison between the first individual and the second individual by comparing the first data to the second data. The method further includes generating a list of one or more skills for which there is a skill gap between the first individual and the second individual.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Lowell Thomason, John Rud, Ken Trisko, Neal Dobberke, Ronald S. Wesely, Terry Staarmann, Timothy H. Brandt, Daniel John Cutshall

Patent number: 11188921Abstract: A method includes receiving financial data for a plurality of categories associated with the user, where the plurality of categories includes financial institution obligations, financial tracking tools, and recurring and nonrecurring financial obligations. The method also includes analyzing financial data for each of the plurality of categories and generating an initial report with a first plurality of recommendations for the plurality of categories. The method also includes, responsive to determining a modification was received for the initial report, updating at least one recommendation from the first plurality of recommendations and a user profile for the user planning the absence. The method also generating a final report with a second plurality of recommendations based on the initial report with the first plurality of recommendations and the modification.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2020Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lowell Thomason, Timothy Harold Brandt, John Rud, Kenneth Trisko, Ronald Stanley Wesely

Patent number: 11075874Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a gateway, a message for a recipient, responsive to the message being sent to the recipient at a first address. One or more rules are evaluated to select a preferred communication channel of the recipient, from among two or more communication channels. A channel-specific address of the recipient on the preferred communication channel is determined, where the channel-specific address differs from the first address. The message is directed, by the gateway, to the channel-specific address of the recipient to deliver the message to the recipient through the preferred communication channel.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2019Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Lowell Thomason, John Rud, Kenneth Trisko, Ronald Stanley Wesely, Timothy Brandt

Patent number: 10650233Abstract: In one example implementation according to embodiments of the invention, a computer-implemented method includes identifying a first discrete element of the composite object from a first image. The method further includes identifying the composite object based at least in part on the first discrete element of the composite object. The method further includes determining whether a category associated with the composite object is a category of interest. The method further includes, based at least in part on determining that the category associated with the composite object is a category of interest, increasing a discrete element count. The method further includes determining whether the discrete element count meets a threshold. The method further includes, based at least in part on determining that the discrete element count exceeds the threshold, performing a mitigation action.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Lowell Thomason, John Rud, Ronald S. Wesely, Timothy H. Brandt, Daniel John Cutshall, Neal Dobberke, Ken Trisko, Terry Staarmann
